    Oh I love that our government feels the need to spend xxxxxx money on hunting down a few Skyline owners and putting a knife to their throat for no justifiable reason. Someone should send them an envelope full of anthrax in return. If I had a Skyline and I got one of those letters...it would be game on.

    If I were bored enough, i'd actually like to call Mr Eastman and ask why they give a Flying-F about some random car.

    If you and I can't import and drive a skyline then so shouldn't he. Its about being fair to everybody. Its a risk all the skyline owners take.

    Corporate and Government establishments are laying off people left and right. Ever think some employees may be doing a little extra to secure themselves a job?

    The last I heard the Kaizo's are a stripped down unibody you purchase and built from the ground up, no different than replica GT40's or Cobra's. Most replica's are of cars that are over 25 years old though. I've heard different stories on how people are registering the Kaizo cars.

    Kaizo's website now says it's "temporarily" down so I don't know if they got Motorex'd or not. Even Motorex's website is still up so I find that highly unlikely unless they took it down to cover it up. Too many assumptions going on.

    The letter shows the VIN # starting with ECR33...if that is indeed an R34 registered as an R33 then why not put the hammer down on them? That's exactly what Motorex did. R33's are federally legal in the US, R32's and R34's are not.
